Recent Advances in Nanomaterials for Removal of New Emerging Pollutants from Water/Wastewater

Dear colleagues,

This Special Issue is focused on recent developments in the synthesis of novel nanostructured materials (photocatalysts and adsorbents) applicable for the removal of emerging pollutants (pharmaceuticals, additives in personal care products, microplastics, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) from water media. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue.

Full papers, short communications, and reviews are welcome in the following areas: 1. Synthesis of novel nanostructured photocatalysts active under visible light using different techniques such as green microwave-assisted crystallization, sol-gel, hydrothermal, solvothermal, physical methods, etc. 2. Synthesis of magnetic composites in the form of particles or immobilized on different substrates with photocatalytic activity under visible light. 3. Modification and functionalization of natural materials applicable in photocatalysis in order to develop cost-effective reusable technologies. 4. Application of novel photocatalysts and adsorbents in degradation/removal of emerging pollutants from water media. 5. Studies of the correlation between structural properties and the activity of novel photocatalysts and adsorbents.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
